With the first sharp feeling of disappointment at the failure of the negotiations looking towards railway legislation, there arose a disposition— natural, perhaps, but in no way justified by the facts of the case -to blame the government for the deadlock between lhe high contracting parties. Unprejudiced examination of the facts of the case, however, does uot warrant tbis condemnation. It is to be remembered, in considering the terms offered by the various railway promoters who opened up negotiations with the government during the past session, that these promoters regarded the country from a very different standpoint to that occupied by the administration. Briefly, their different points of view may bo defined in this way: the promoter regarded the country as a desert, which his projected line was to open up to settlement and consequent commerce; the government,, on the other hand, better informed as to the resources of the laud, knew that it was no desert, but an immensely rich storehouse.needing only a door of communication with the outer world. That door onee opened enormous wealth, not to be extravagantly thrown away or unwise' encumbered by the administrators the people's heritage, would 1: steadily from this reservoir to enrich •.be people. But it would be by no means the part of wisdom for tlie government to give two thirds of this wealth to those who opened the door. Th<* price was too high. lu other words, the promt,ter re gnrded his railway as a speculation. OUt of which he was to get all he could, while the government regarded that same railway merely as a means to develop, in tho interests of the community, a most valuable assent, The fact is that the government realized what the promoter did uot namely, that conditions have greatly changed from what they were twenty. or even ten, yeara ago, lu former days 'his country was undeveloped and practically nothing was known of t lose, undeveloped areas. Today two- thirds of it is still ^undeveloped, but its resources arc very well known and appreciated bv the government. Thus, then, while it may have been excusable to hand over to a railway company millions of dollars and millions of acres of lands as a bribe to go into a country out of which, for all anyone could say, they might never be able to make axle grease, it would In* perfect ly indefensible to do the same thing today, when it is known that everv district is immensely rich in natural wealth of all kinds, and that, the mo incut a railway is established through it, that railway will begin to make monev hand over fist. But.in commending the government for their foresight and prudence in re fusing to sacrifice the country, it is uot fair to unduly blame the railway folk for their exorbitant demands. The mass of thc people are very prone to forget that a railway company is not an aggregation of philanthropists. but businessmen. All they desire is lo get as much the best of the bargain as thev possibly can, in order to make a goocl .showing, a (food balance sheet, and good dividends for theii -hare holders. Verv well, then. These gentlemen, holding this point of view,came before the legislature this session to make ri ■-ood a bargain for themselves ;1s thev could. Traditions were all in their favor. Previous legislatures had never refused a generous hand-out of land or monev to anyone who would promise them a railroad anywhere, Why should this present government behave different than its predecessors? Naturally, then, the railway people found themselves quite unable to take the government seriously, when tlial bodv of legislators took the previously unheard of position that the country a land areas wrre loo valuable to give away by the million acres, and that, badly aa tho country needed railways, it was not prepared to cripple its nn* ances and still further tax the people by going into debt, to get millions of dollars to pay for them. And nothing could move the railway promoters from this settled conviction, based Upon endless experience of former llritish Columbia legislatures, Thev clung fondly to lho idea up to As instancing the exorbitant nature of the demands made by the railway promoters, the case of the Grand Trunk Pacific may lie taken as a fair example. In the straitened financial condition of the province, conditions of which they were well aware, it might have been supposed that such demands would have lieen incredible. Let us suppose for n moment that it had lieen possible to give this company the land grants it required, then, not content with that, knowing full well that the government had been forced to increase taxation on the individual in order to meet the increased burdens of administrations, tho Grand Trunk Pacific people had the immaculate nerve to demand in addition that theso immense land giants, if given, should bo exempt from taxation for a period of thirty years. This is a fact. Mr. Morse, on liehalf of his company, practically demanded that section '.l'l of tho land act should be repealed in their favor; that is to say, that the government should have no interests in any of the townsites of the company in British Columbia. In other words, the position of the Grand Trunk Pacific was that they should get everything thoy could from the government.and shut off tho province from obtaining any direct benelits in the shape of revenue in return. Tho other railway propositions before tho government were in practically the same strain. Some, it is true, were more moderate in their demands, and probably would have received favorable consideration at the hands of the government, but for the fact that, at this present stage of the development of British Columbia, the administration has decided that only a railway policy which will appeal to the people of the province as a whole, instead of to merely sectional interests, will lw received acceptably by the people. It may be well to remark in conclusion that while the opposition, their friends and newspapers, arc making a great outcry alxmtthe absence of railway legislation, those outside of par* tizan politics are in a position to prophesy, with a great probability ol accuracy, that the coming season will seo more railroad construction thau has been done in the past three years put together.

Notice t.i Terminal* Thai* Agreement Willi Couipaujr, Fernie Led,':*: During the past month several conferences havo been held between the representatives of the Minors' Onion and the officials of the Crow's Nest Coal Co.. with a view of making a satisfactory working arrangement between the company and its employees, effective in June. It was seen that the present agreement could not Ih* terminated without giv- j ing 60 days' notice. So on the 6th of | April the Union gave notice that on the t'.th of June they would terminate J the present agreement. At the conference held lost Saturday a deadlock occurred upon the tirst clause of the proposed new basis by the Union for the working of the collieries around IVruie. The miners want full recognition of the Union and the check-off system adoptedathe same as exists in Alberta. The check-off system means that the company takes out of each miner's wages his dues for the Union. The company refused to accede to this clause, and in June the. miners may walk out of the mines around Fernie and leave the company to work their mines with non-union labor. It is not their intention to use coercion or obstruction in any way whatever. Owing to the deadlock upon the Aral clause, it wns usolesa to discuss any other requests, grievances ordetnauda of eithei Union or company. If the flrst clause had been satisfactory to both all the Others WOUld have been; adjusted. Owing to the fact that a coal miner cannot work under ground without a certificate of efficiency and sullicient literary knowledge of rules and regulations,'the Union cannot see just how thecorapnny can worktheirl properties without large secessions from their ranks. In the meantime the1 matter has been referred to the International headquarters of the United Mine Workers In Indianapolis, and the local unions will await their decision. W. B.

Some time during Saturday or Sunday night somebody got into the store of T. McNeish & Co., evidently witb a pass key through the front door. Just how much stuff was taken is unknown, but it is asserted one pair of pants at least wero lifted, a trail of candle grease to the pile of clothing leading to the discovery. A warrant was issued for the arrest of Robt. McFarlaud, it being alleged he wus wearing the stolen goods on Monday morning, but just before his arrest had gone to his cabin nnd changed his attire. After spending the uight in the Bas- tile, "Micky" was brought before J. A. Foley, J.P., and Mayor Arnot, on Tuesday morning. The trial lasted all day, a host of witnesses giving evidence. The charge, however, was not proven, nor did a search of the accused's cabin yield anything incriminating. The prosecution secured an adjournment of the case till next week, in order to introduce new evidence,the accused being set at liberty on bis own recognizance of §200. The costs of the case will be heavy. To nnn Fruit Train*. F. W.

He did not wish to be regarded as adopting thu tone of a pessimist, or as disparaging the best contribution! already made to Canadian history He only desired to go to the bottom of the matter and insist on the need of laying a solid foundation. Special studies,based on a first-hand knowledge of the sources, were the solid pedestal upon which the work of art, the great national history, must stand. Materials for local history should be looked to with particular care, as they were so perishable, and already lt was difficult, and often impossible, to make up files of local newspapers from the beginning, whilst domestic correspondence, even where most valuable as among the members of leading families, tended to disappear after a generation or so. Indeed, the proper custody of historical materials was among the chief duties which each age owed to its successors. CANADIAN ARCHIVE3. Be The History of the Country Mutt Preserved—Let the Facts 8pe«k. "If ln Canada we had less to say about our Illimitable resources, and worked with steadfast purpose to have the most irreproachable politics ln the world, our patriotism would not be slumbering the while," said Dr. C. "VV. Colby, Professor of History at McGill University, ln the course of an address on "Patriotism and History" at a recent Toronto Canadian Club luncheon. Dr. Colby remarked that lt had been urged more than once that the rank and file of Canadians would be more loyal citizens If patriotism were more carefully taught as a lesson ln the days ot boyhood. They were also not Infrequently reminded of the efforts which were being made throughout the United States to Instil love of country at the same moment with the elements of spelling. The whole argument resolved itself Into: First, that a somewhat militant spirit of patriotism was desirable, and, second, that the historical manual should be used as a means of retting forth In picturesque and convincing fashion the fact*- which helped to glorify the national past or the arguments which went to de'tnd the national cause. Those who repeated with unction the sentiment, ' 0 ,r country, right or wrong," would -..ubtless be content to have a colored, one-sided version of the national annals presented' to children ln Public Schools through the medium of the elementary manual "What is the attitude of the professional historian toward this state of mind, and toward this form of patriotism?" asked Dr. Colby. He said that during the past two generations an attempt had been made by leading students to render the investigation and the writing of history Impartial, colorless and scientific. Til lh was the Beat Bank at Monte Carlo. An automatic gambler has beat the famous bank at Monte Carlo. If gambling must be, there is reason ln backing a machine against human nature. II ls all a matter of chance, and a cold-blooded automaton wlll play on and on, and never get rattled over gains and losses. When Yon Lose Yonr Taite, "When people lose their taste," said a physician, "they retain their old likes nnd dislikes just the same. Miss Smith, for instance, can't tell a slice of roast beef from a fried onion, but she disliked onions before her taste went, and therefore she won't eat them now. People lose their taste through severe Illnesses, and with the loss of taste the loss of smell nearly always goes; hence queer, cruel practical Jokes. I know a woman witbout smell to whom a pint of onion juice wts sent ln a cologne bottle. She deluged herself with this onion Juice and appeared ln a crowded heated ballroom. "To a man without taste or smell all cheeses must be alike, yet old Brown- low won't touch limburger. He says lt would make him ill, and probably lt would. It ls very odd to hear these deficient people praising and condemning food and drink. They do it, though. They do it as heartily as you or I. I have seen old Brownlow send away ln disgust a glass of white wine, claiming it was corked, while at the same time he ate calmly an addled egg." Heeded Eneoiragemeit "I remember," said an old naval of!! cer, "hearing of an Incident on boardj of a ship which was commanded by a] religious captain who would not allow the mate to use profane language or violence toward the crew and where the work and discipline were carried on more by moral suasion than by force, with the result that things went very slowly. Tbe men did not jump to the braces or ropes, and the general work of the ship was slow. "While at anchor one day ln the harbor of Klo two of the sailors, leaning over the rail, were watching work going on on board of another ship anchored close to them, where the opposite system prevailed. The air on that ship was lurid with the language of the mate, and the men were treated witb a violence that was far from necessary, but the work went on quickly. The sails were furled and the yards braced in a smart and seamanlike manner. As they listened to the sulphurous orders of the mate one of the sailors on the good ship remarked sententiously to the other: '"Bill, d'ye see now what it ls we want aboard here? We want a little encouragement 1'" GOLDEN TIPS. Interesting Volume Descriptive of Ceylon and its Industries. Cnpld and tha Reeralta. "Cupid ls one of the best recruiting officers that Uncle Sam bas," confided one of the sergeants attached to the recruiting headquarters. "Back of nearly every enlistment there ls a woman ln the case. Lovers' quarrels chase a lot ef fine lads Into the service. Your romantic youth gravitates to the recruiting officer after a serious break with his sweetheart as naturally as a duck takes to water. It seems to him the most fitting way in which to sacrifice himself when love's young dream ls apparently dispelled. Way down in his heart he nursed the idea of making his erstwhile Inamorata sad, and It's the army or navy, with the possibility of death ln battle, for him. Again, other flrst class material ls recruited by the desire of young fellows to sport a uniform before their girls. In sucb cases Cupid does his recruiting through vanity. But ln both ways he manage-} to fill up big gaps in the ranks of Un cle Sam's fighters." Ideal, not patriotism, nor oven religion. Under modern conurlonJ, therefore, it would be difficult to Und a decent historian who would undertake to write a school manual with the fixed Intent of justifying the national cause, or so to speak, of presenting part of the truth as though lt were the whole truth, against which nothing could be urged. "We all recognize, I imagine, the existence of patriotism under two forms, the lower form of beating the big drum or waving the bloody flag, and the higher form of doing something for one's country," said Dr. Colby, and neither was the connection of history with the higher patriotism less close than lt was with the screaming of the eagle or the roaring of the lion. He referred te Switzerland's sound type of patriotism, and gave some of the characteristics -f the people. So far as Canada was concerned, history. Dr. Colby thought, ought to have a large part in tho national life. There was certainly a history worth honoring, and the great pity was that so far so little had been done to exploit lt Instead ot talking grandiloquently about the past, the truer patriotism would seem to point toward a closer investigation ot it But, speaking frankly ln the case of Canada, the materials upon which a good co-operative history could alone be founded did not exist. A few weeks ago he had a conversation with Dr. Doughty, the Dominion Archivist, regarding a project for a cooperative history of Canada, to be brought out In connection with the Champlaln celebration ln Quebec ln 1901. Whether such a work would be attempted was another question, but Dr. Colby thought most experts would agree with Dr. Doughty tn thinking that anything at present done on these lines would be of a purely provisional character. It would be a tentative nature for the simple reason that the monograph stage had not, with Canada, as yet been passed through. It would, he said, be ridiculous to deny that the literature of Canadian history was wholly lacking In good monographs. Books like Rochcmontelx's "Jesuits," Lovln'a "Frantenac," Doughty*, "Siege of Quebec," and Blggar's "Early Trading Companies," spoke eloquently to the contrary. Still, an enormous amount of pioneer work must be done before a bibliography of Canadian history could ahow any such results as were represented by a little book like Channing A Hart's "Guide to American History " "We need te have at Ottawa a well- endowed and creditable Archives Department," urged Dr. Colby. In the past an Important duty had been neglected by treating the archives in a purely Incidental fashion. For many years the main affiliation had been agricultural. The time had come to render It cultural ln a broad and national sense. Theoretically, at least, all desired that there should be sound and learned histories of Canada, but those could not be prepared until a large number of special topics had been investigated with minute care. Owing to the pre- aent limitation of the National Archives, the work of prepurlng good monographs was extremely difficult and costly. Therefore, lt must be concluded that the only sound policy was te collect and arrange those original materials without recourse to which the historian would be wasting his time la writing at all en Canadian subjects.

C. Larkln, of tho Salada Tea Co. has sent the Toronto World a copy of interesting volume, descriptive of Ceylon and its greater industries. "Golden Tips," so the book is entitled, is the work of Henry W. Cave, M.A..F.R.G.S., a member of the Rjyal Asiatic society and himself a suceesful Ceylon merchant, and is profusely and beautifully illustrated from photographs by the author. It ls oue of quite a number of volumes on Ceylon, and its natural features and resources, issued by Mr. Cave, who has done excellent service in bringing this gem of the southern seas before the notice of the English- speaking public. Ceylon for a considerable time was only associated in the public mind with the melodious but somewhat misleading lines in Heber's well-known missionary hymn: What tho the spicy breezes Blow soft o'er Ceylon's Isle, Where every prospect pleases, And only man is vile. But we learn from Mr. Cave that the truth of the first three lines is not continued in the fourth. The native Singhalese are certainly not vile ln their ordinary occupation of that brief but significant adjective. Indeed, Mr. Cave gives us a very different idea of the perfection of Ceylon life. "They need no poor laws, nor have they any. Poverty is relieved by the natural benevolence of the people. The wealthy Singhalese are especially kind to the poor; and many of them have fixed days of the week upon which they distribute rice to all the aged and infirm of their district. The solidarity of the family is I believe, even stronger among them than Europeans ; the weakest are the most cared for; the rich help their poorer relations, and never disown them; the poor assist the poorer amongst their own relatives and friends, so that there is no dread of old-age poverty. In these particulars of freedom from care and squalid misery I believe that the Singhalese are now the happiest of His Majesty's subjects in any part of the world." A people of whom these things can be said may not be Christian or even civilized in the western meaning of civilization, but they are certainly not vile. Space will not permit us to linger over the wonderful beauty of Ceylon scenery, and the equally marvelous fer tllity of its soil. It is a miniature continent, in which the traveler can pass through every variety of climate, over mountain, forest and plain and the loveliest and most exquisite landscapes. The tea estates, we learn, are upwards of a thousand in number, varying in size from 100 to 1000 acres | each, and comprising a total of 370,- 000 acres, and are divided into about sixty districts. They are situated for the most part in the mountainous central province of the island, and vary in elevation above the sea level from 100 however, ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the lowlands. As the native Singhalese were too well satisfied with their lot, it became necessary to Import laborers from Southern India. The gangs are each in charge of a comp&ny or taskmaster, and above them is the conductor, who is the superintendent's right-hand man in the fields Mr. Cave gives a full and detailed account of the various operations carried on in connection with tea raising; the pruning, weeding, drain-clearing, and, above all, the import matter of plucking. The green leaves pass through a number of processes, being flrst withered, then rolled, then broken, then allowed to ferment and Anally transferred to the dis- icator, where it is fired. They are then cooled and sifted, emerging as the various grades known commercially as Broken Orange Pekoe, Orange Pekoe, Pekoe, Suchong and Dust all of which terms are of Chinese origin and refer to some characteristic of the sort of tea they represent. The creme de la creme of Ceylon Is the Broken Orange Pekoe, which gives the name of "Gold en Tips" to Mr. Cave's volume. Mr. Cave, speaking of the quality of Ceylon tea, says: Everything, it will be observed, Is done to avoid handling the tea. Indeed, from the bush to the tea table such methods of pure cleanliness are observed as scarcely any other food manufacture can claim, and especially do these methods of Ceylon tea manufacture stand In contrast to those of China, whero the primitive \A/h«=at is Paralysis? A Question of Interest to Thousands who have not Leaened the Curative Power of Chaso's Nerve Rood. »r. Paralysis Is loss of power of motion. Movement ls the result of contraction of muscles. Muscles canot contract of themselves but are entirely controlled by the nerves. As a result paralysis is almost always due to lack of nerve force. Increase the nerve force in the body by the use of Dr. Chase's Nerve Pood. Revitalize the wasted and depleted nerve cells. Restore vigor to the weakened nervous system and paralysis must disappear. But it is not on theory that Dr. Chasy'? Nerve Food is recommended as a'cure and preventative for paralysis. It has established a surprising record of cures, and the cured ones are willing and anxious that other sufferers should know about It. But do not wait for helplessness to overtake you before beginning treatment. If you suffer from weakness, sleeplessness, irritability, headache, twitch ing of the nerves and muscles, trem bling of limbs, loss of memory and of power to concentrate the mind Dr Chase's Nerve Food will prove of in' calculable worth to you. Put it to the test Mrs. W. R. Sutherland, St Andrews Man., writes:-—"In February, 19oj i was stricken with paralysis, fell he'io- lessly on the floor and had to be carried to bed. The doctor pronounced it a bad case as I had no power in my tongue and left leg. I remained in that condition for six months without obtaining benefit from the doctor's prescriptions or other medicines "My husband advised me to try Dr Chase's Nerve Food, and by the use of this treatment all symptoms of the disease disappeared. I can now talk plainly, my leg is all right and I can do my housework. How grateful I am to be cured by sq wonderful a remedy " Dr. Chase's Nerve Food, 50 cents a box at all dealers, or Edmanson Bates & Co., Toronto. Portrait nnd signature of Dr. A. W. Chase the famous receipt book author, aro on every box. operations employed aro such that the stomach would rebel against a detailed description. I am convinced that if the public generally did but realize this difference between Ceylon tea and that of some other countries the demand for the Ceylon article would Increase quite beyond the capacity of the country to supply it These admirable methods, coupled with the natural fitness of the soil and climate, no doubt account for the unrivaled pqpularity of Ceylon tea, and it is a matter of pride that the fragrant leaf from which comes "the cup that cheers and not inebriate" should now be so largely produced in one of the most beautiful of the dependencies of the British Crown. HEALTHJW SPRING NATURE NEEDS ASSISTANCE IN MAKING NEW HEALTH-GIVING BLOOD. The President of one of the largest of the many Scotch societies in this country has a bonnie young daughter, whose rendering of the beautiful songs of her father's native country is particularly pleasing. Her absolute command of the dialect is ever a matter of wonderment to her numerous admirers when they are made aware of the fact that she has lived all her life in this land. A few evenings ago, after a charming rendering of the quaint "Logic o' Buchan" at a friend's house, one of the most enthusiastic of her friends exclaimed: "Say, she sings Scotch so plain you can't understand a word she says." Spring is the season when your system needs toning up. In the spring you must have new blood just as the trees must have new sap. Nature demands it. Without new blood you will feel weak and languid; you may have twinges of rheumatism or neuralgia, occasional headaches, a variable appetite, pimples or eruptions of the skin, or a pale, pasty complexion. These are certain signs that the blood is out of order. Tho only sure way to get new blood and fresh energy ls to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They actually make new, rich blood—they are she greatest spring tonic in the world. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills clear the skin, drive out disease and make tired, depressed men and women bright, active and strong. Mr. Neil H. McDonald, Estmere, N. B., says: "It gives me great satisfaction to state that I have found Dr. Williams' Pink Pills all that ls claimed for them. I was completely run down, my appetite was poor and I suffered much from severe headaches. Doctors' medicine did not give me the needed relief, so I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I inii only a few boxes when my former health returned, and now I feel like a new nmn." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are not only the best spring tonic, but are a cure for all troubles due to poor blood or shattered nerves. That ls why they cure headaches and backaches, rheumatism, anaemia, kidney and liver troubles, and the special secret ailments of wonien and growing girls But you must get the genuine, with the ful. namo, "Dr Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People," printed on the wrapper around each box.

A Chicago special says:—Further and full Investigation by the federal grand jury which is inquiring into the working methods of thc alleged beef trust, It is asserted, is to result from the examination of the contents of eight trunks taken from tho safety vaults in the First. National Bank building. When the trunks were opened, it is said the entire secret transactions of the Aetna Trading company a corporation through which alleged secret business of the packers was transacted, were revealed to the jurors and as a consequence many new witnesses will be subpoenaed. Tho trunks and contents have been impounded on an order by Judge Sanborn so Ihnt no one legal process can obtain possession of them. Among the new witnesses subpoenaed are said to be G. B. Godfrey, alleged secretary and treasurer of the Aetna Trading company, and R. H. Cowan, another official of the company. The initials R. H.

By contrast with the newer—much newer— territories, Manitoba ls an old established country. The general belief concerning the province is that during the last decade the work of pioneering has been performed, and that the work of development haa consumed the activities of Manitobans. This, to a large extent, is true, but It Is certainly not the whole truth. The opening up of large tracts of new country,—such as that, for instance between Prince Albert and Edmonton, or in the Ixjthbridge country, or along the Soo line, or the Prince Albert branch, or the country lying east and west of the Calgary and Edmonton— har not been going on In Manitoba for the past ten years, and for sufficiently obvious reasons. The older province had Its railway systems practically completed long before that timo, and where railways were available settlement naturally followed, so that a comparatively dense population was to be found ln Manitoba long before similar conditions could be expected to obtain in the Territories, with their vastly greater area and less comprehensive transportation facilities. For these reasons, the northwestern portion of the province of Manitoba was almost as unlnhabitated fifteen years ago as in the days of Lord Selkirk. Settlers went into the route now occupied by the Northwestern branch of the C.P.U. in those early days when it was expected that it would be tho line of the new transcontinental road, but north of that was a hilly, wood- clad country, dotted with lakes, and with a rich soil that only needed cultivation to make it famous as even the Portage plains. But it remained, for the reasons, some of which are set forth above, unlnhabitated while the whole of tho remainder of the province was comparatively densely populated. But with the building of the Dauphin branch all tbls was changed. A thriving agricultural conimuiity soon sprung up, flourishing little towns sprung into being, and the fame of the fertile Dauphin country went abroad through the land. With the town came the Inevitable advocate and publicity agent, tho newspaper, which heralded far and wide the many advantages of the district in which it was published. And the success of the Dauphin country wa.s followed as a natural sequence by that of similar territory contiguous thereto. The natural result of Dau When the little folks Uke colds and coughs, don't neglect them and let them strain the tender membranes of their lungs, Give them Sfoiloh's Consumption Cure T^icLung It will cure thorn quickly and strengthen their lungs.

Even yet it is not a bonanza. But it is past the shoals, and striking out all the time for the open sea. Of the present editor, under whose guidance the Star is each month showing steady improvement, there needs but little to be said. He has a good mechanical training, a "nose for news" —that prime essential in the makeup of any newspaper man, a belief in his town and district, a knowledge of its needs, and the confidence of its people. These, combined with industry, energy and enterprise, are the strong foundations upon which he is building up a successful business. Beyond this, it needs but to say that he is an unassuming, capable, public spirited citizen, with hosts of friends, and few, if any, enemies. He i.s doing in the northwest portion of Manitoba what other newspaper men are doing everywhere throughout the West—building up and developing his own locality, and thus strengthening the Canadian spirit and advancing the Canadian nationhood. To him, and such as he, the Dominion will forever owe a national debt, for they are the true moulders of Canadian destiny. HE TELLS THEM TO ASKJHE I.O.F. JOHN J.

"Beg pardon, sir." said he, "but I am afraid I didn't quite catch your order. Would you mind repeating it?" "Not at all," said the Minnesota man solemnly. "I want two eggs, one of them fried on one side and the other on the other." "Thank you, sir," said the waiter. "I thought that was what you said, but I wasn't quite sure, sir." Five minutes later an apologetic waiter returned to the lawyer's elbow. "I beg pardon, sir," said he again, "but the cook and I have had some words. Would you mind having those eggs scrambled?"

Gamev, the noted man from Manitoulin, is to be made minister of mines for Ontario. Aftej being the principal cause of turning Ross out of .power, it is kind of rubbing it into the Liberals to so elevate their archenemy. "Wullie" Mclnnes, the orator of boyish appearances from Alberni, is slated for the governorship of the Tu kon. Yukon believe he'll take the job when it comes, the $12,000 salary and all with it, and will try and look as if it didn't hurt him. Members of the dominion house are agitating an increase in their sessional indemnity to $2000. It is not long since they had it raised to $1500. They milage their financial worth by the amougt of talking they do, a reversal of the old idea that talk is cheap. Official reports of the j?iyeral production of Canada for the past year show a considerable failing off in gold. The Yukon produced in 1904 $10,337,- 000, out of a total production of $16,- 400,000. Tbe total mineral production of the dominion was placed at $60,- 043,165. W. C. Wells, member of the legislature from Columbia, says he does not desire the job as lieutenant-governor of British Columbia, preferring to run his sawmill at Palliser. Laurier should not be diiyiQOcerted by W.C.'s inove.as there are several fellows around here who wouldn't miild having a shy at the salary involved. An ominous cloud is arising ou the industrial horizon in the Crow's Nest country, the miners having given notice of their intention to terminate their working agreement with the ooal company on June 6th. Several grievances have arisen, which call for delicate handling, yet it should be found possible to adjust the differences and ensure peace to the country. Ottawa authorities have been more expeditious than in past years and have disallowed the anti-Japanese legislation passed at the recent session of the British Columbia house. There were three acts quashed—regulating immigration, employment of Asiatics under franchises granted for private acts, and the amended coal mines regulation act. No doubt the laws will be all re-enacted at the next meeting of the legislature. Immigration to western Canada promises to be much larger this year than at any previous time, the aggregate running up iuto tbe hundreds of thousands. The influx from Europe is very heavy, uot the least pleading feature being the large percentage of Britishers coming in. But it is from jthe States whence the bulk of the new population hail, the movement to Canada being so extensive as to cause uneasiness to the American authorities. The type of settlers from the States is of the best, beiug chiefly people who have disposed of their farms under the Stars and Stripes and are acquiring new homes at cheaper prices under the Uuiou Jack. These people come laden with live stock and household goods, and supported by bank accounts. Taken altogether, the class of settlers Canada is getting is most desirable, but they must all learn from the outset that, while Canadian laws ensure liberty of action aud personal freedom, they also punish with certainty and severity anything approaching violence and lawlessness. Canadian laws are all sufficient—they can protect and they can punish. Canada welcomes the emigrant, but he must leave behind his European antagonisms and his American gun play. Lot tho emigrant be law-abiding aud loyal to the country's best iuterests and he will got a fair fUH for his money. DRILL POINTS. Pay up your subscription. For the best bread in town go to VV.
